I am a cybersecurity professional who gets consulted on travel policy and my professional opinion is that travel to the US is not currently worth the risk for most non-US persons

If you’re in the planning stages of a conference intended to take place in the US…move it. Don’t do it.

Imagine your job consisting of the angriest people you've ever seen in your entire life yelling at you 24/7 and throwing bottles of piss in your car while you battle the subzero elements they don't even bat an eyelash about.

Imagine the toll that takes on your psyche. May they never find peace.

I keep hearing from educated, informed people that they have no idea how bad things are in Minneapolis.

This is because too many people get their political news from the New York Times. That is a mistake! Unless they like Trump and want him to rule us like a king. Drop NYT Politics.

look by brutal government tyranny the right meant student loan forgiveness or subsidies for health insurance or helping American companies produce electric & renewable technologies, not mere jackbooted thugs executing mothers in the street for caring too much about brown neighbors

I was told over and over by Republicans that the entire point of 2A was for Americans to defend themselves against brutal government tyranny. That’s what we have! And by the grace of an amazing populace they haven’t asserted that right.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧡

In Renee Good’s killing, ICE’s misogyny isn’t a side noteβ€”it’s the point The words of the man who shot Renee Good speak to the Trump administration's fixation on masculinity.

I was once pulled over driving to work. I hadn’t done anything. But this cop pulled me over and was, I cannot stress enough, FURIOUS. Shouting at me to not grab my phone, to not even LOOK at it, to look at HIM.

He just needed to yell and seethe at a woman.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.

This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

The behavioral explanation is that this is all a bunch of unresolved childhood and adolescent trauma about women.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: β€œThe message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

When Vance insists, contra the videos, that Good threatened the ICE agent and "had it coming", what he means is that he, like Ross, feels threatened by any woman who has the audacity to use her voice in the public sphere.

This deeply misogynist worldview is core to MAGA.
